The North Pacific Fishery Management Council set a cap on king salmon bycatch caught by the nonpollock trawl fleet in the Gulf of Alaska today after considerable public testimony and council discussion.

The lawsuit that bore her name sought to authorize her fishing with nets at Batzulnetas, at the confluence of the upper Copper River and Tanada Creek, southeast of Slana. However, the.... http://www.newsminer.com/opinion/editorials/eroded-authority-respected-elder-s-lawsuit-posed-challenge-for-state/article_b5b8cfca-cfde-11e2-8ded-001a4bcf6878.html
